SUVs are a heavily featured vehicle class in Grand Theft Auto VI, spanning rugged family haulers, luxury four-door cruisers, and performance-oriented compact SUVs. The Declasse Granger 3600LX was one of the first vehicles spotted in both trailers, and the Pfister Astron joined the confirmed list when it took a starring role in a high-speed chase through Port Gellhorn in Trailer 2.
SUVs sit between the everyday Sedan class and the commercial Vans in the Grand Theft Auto vehicle hierarchy. They are prized for their higher ride height, better off-road performance, larger passenger capacity, and heftier collisions. In GTA V and GTA Online, they also function as common NPC traffic, getaway vehicles in heists, and luxury status symbols for wealthier character archetypes. GTA VI clearly continues that pattern based on how often SUVs appear in trailer footage.
Like every other vehicle in the game, SUVs in GTA VI come from the series' fictional manufacturers. Key SUV brands include Declasse (American body-on-frame), Gallivanter (Land Rover analog), Pfister (Porsche analog), Canis (Jeep analog), Enus (Rolls-Royce analog), and Übermacht (BMW analog). Only vehicles specifically identified in trailer footage by multiple outlets are listed as confirmed below.
Model | Manufacturer | Real-World Inspiration | Where It Appears |
|---|---|---|---|
Declasse | Eleventh-generation Chevrolet Suburban | Trailer 1 (behind Jason's hero car) and Trailer 2 highway montage | |
Astron | Pfister | Porsche Macan | Trailer 2 (black Astron storming through Port Gellhorn at 2:29, pursuing Jason and Lucia) |
The Granger 3600LX is the full-size American SUV of the lineup. It is a returning model that was first added to GTA Online via The Contract update and has now been confirmed for GTA VI through appearances in the game's first and second trailers. Its design is primarily based on the eleventh-generation Chevrolet Suburban, giving it the long body, flat roofline, and three-row capacity expected of that segment. In Trailer 2's highway montage, a Granger 3600LX sits between a Bison pickup and a Coquette sports car, framing it as an everyday Leonida family vehicle rather than a specialty ride.
The Astron is Pfister's compact performance SUV, the Porsche Macan of the GTA universe. At roughly the 2:29 mark in Trailer 2, a black Astron is shown storming through Port Gellhorn during a high-speed chase sequence, ramming a green and white Leonard County Sheriff cruiser in the process. Its inclusion in the trailer confirms Pfister is returning as a premium performance brand for GTA VI and signals that the compact luxury-SUV segment is well represented in the game's vehicle roster.
Several SUV nameplates are long-running staples of the GTA series and would be expected to return in GTA VI, though they have not been specifically named in the confirmed trailer analyses so far:
Gallivanter Baller line (Range Rover analog), the franchise's flagship luxury SUV.
Albany Cavalcade (Cadillac Escalade analog), historically the rap-video SUV.
Canis Seminole and Canis Mesa (Jeep-style off-road SUVs).
Enus Huntley and Enus Jubilee (Range Rover and Rolls-Royce Cullinan analogs).
These models should be treated as likely returns rather than confirmed appearances. Their final presence will be verified once Rockstar publishes an official vehicle list or they are identified in future promotional materials.
SUVs in GTA games typically sit between sedans and trucks on the speed-vs-durability scale. They take more punishment than a sports car, carry more passengers than a coupe, and handle light off-road terrain better than a performance car but worse than a dedicated truck. Based on trailer footage, the class fills several roles in GTA VI:
Pursuit vehicle: the Trailer 2 Astron chase showed a performance SUV being used aggressively against sheriff cruisers, implying at least some SUVs will see action-mission use.
Everyday NPC traffic: the Granger 3600LX's placement in the highway montage suggests full-size SUVs will be among the most common vehicles you see on Leonida's roads.
Crew hauler: classic GTA heist setups routinely use a four-door SUV as the get-away vehicle because it can seat a full crew plus driver while still being agile enough to lose a pursuer.
Off-road access: full-size SUVs are well suited to rural trails in Ambrosia County and around Mount Kalaga.
SUVs are visible throughout Trailer 2's urban and highway segments, which fits the class's real-world ubiquity in a Florida-like setting. The Astron's Port Gellhorn chase scene specifically puts a luxury SUV into a rough coastal-town environment, hinting that upscale vehicles can end up in unexpected places across Leonida. The Granger 3600LX's highway appearance frames it as a neutral traffic vehicle rather than anything narratively flagged.
Protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos have not been explicitly shown driving a personal SUV in the released trailers. SUVs so far have been NPC traffic or pursuit vehicles rather than signature rides for the leads.
The Granger 3600LX and Pfister Astron are the only SUVs currently confirmed by name through multiple trailer analyses. Fan databases sometimes list a dozen or more returning SUVs, but those should be treated as predictions.
Expect the SUV roster to expand well beyond the confirmed two models. Rockstar historically ships its flagship titles with 15 or more SUV variants across civilian, police, and military flavors.
Police SUV variants are likely to appear based on past titles, separate from the standard emergency vehicles covered on that page.
Additional details will be confirmed closer to the November 19, 2026 launch.
